Background: Serial clinical observation of asymptomatic newborns at risk of early-onset sepsis is an alternative option for which there is limited scientific evidence.
Aims: To evaluate the rate of protocol compliance, the impact on blood tests, percentage of hospitalizations and subsequent procedures, and course of diagnosed early-onset sepsis cases of a protocol based on serial clinical observation.
Methods: Retrospective observational study comparing an 18-month period under this protocol against a previous protocol based on laboratory tests.
Background: Lack of specific protocols for neonatal donation contributes to the rarity of neonatal donors. In this study, we evaluate the impact of the implementation of a neonatal donation protocol in our NICU.
Methods: In this single-center study, we conducted a retrospective chart review of neonatal deaths in our NICU from January 2013 to January 2022.
Each year, 1.35 million people worldwide die due to Road Traffic Injuries (RTI), highlighting the need for further research. The risk of RTI is usually estimated as the number of casualties divided by the level of exposure in a population.

- Silver Russell syndrome (SRS) is a genetic disorder that leads to growth issues both before and after birth, including difficulties with feeding and overall growth.
- Some cases involve variants in the PLAG1 gene, which is linked to reduced levels of a growth factor called Insulin-like growth factor 2.
- The report discusses a 26-month-old girl who shows symptoms of SRS and has a new deletion of 2.1 Mb that includes the PLAG1 gene, supporting its connection to the disorder.
